The dystopian undertones in our love affair with celebrity fashion
NEW YORK - Nyenta -- By: Olivia Fowler
Suzanne Collins' popular 2008 novel and subsequent film adaptation The Hunger Games, is speculative fiction largely aimed at teenagers. Despite this, a more mature reader might pick up on the social commentary offered within the plotlines. At the time of publication, a golden age of reality television, you might interpret Collins' novel – where teenagers participate in a violent, televised competition – as a critique of shows such as Big Brother.
But now there is another, seemingly innocuous, element to Collins' book to consider in 2023 and that is the fashion of the ruling class. In the wealthy Capitol, they wear colourful and impractical clothing whilst the poor wear sturdy clothes built for utility at best and rags at worst. Of course, this, like most other parts of the novel, is an exaggeration designed to entertain: but, in a time of global economic crisis, we might seriously start to question our culture's obsession with celebrity fashion.

"Gilded Glamour?"
The place of avant-garde fashion in our current society was most recently called into question last year when the theme of 2022's infamous Met Gala, held in New York at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was announced as "Gilded Glamour." Harkening back to a time in America's history that saw huge advancements in technology and industry, "Gilded Glamour" intended to showcase the clothes of the Gilded Age (1870s-1900) with a modern twist.
Not only were the organisers criticised for celebrating a time of prosperity whilst Ukraine endures Russian invasion, but also because much of America's economic success at this time is notoriously marred by huge wealth disparity between the rich and the poor.
